Tulip Engineering Pvt. Ltd vs. Income Tax Officer

ITA/58/2015HC Delhi09 Feb 2015

Bench: Us & Challenges An Order Of The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Hereafter Referred To As “Itat”) Dated 30.06.2014 In Ita 410/Del/2013. 2. The Assessee Was Subjected To Re-Assessment Proceedings; The Initiation Of Which Has Been Challenged Under Section 147.
